How can I make my teeth white?
I use http://www.crestprohealth.com/crest-products/pro-health-clean-cinnamon.aspx toothpaste.
I also have to use a fluoride every night for my gums.
However, I really want white teeth.
I know the toothpaste says it's whitening.
If I brush like 4/5 times a day, will they get whiter?
Or should I try something like crest whitestrips?
Thanks
what toothpaste kills bacteria the most?
i want to know what toothpaste works better to clean bacteria. Crest extra whiting with scope outlast or Colgate pro-health. me and my friend are going to do a lab test with the bacteria plates for our sciences project. we want to see if there is really a difference. if one works better than the other than we would probably use a different kind of toothpaste.
What can be done at home to TREAT (not prevent) gingivitis?
Someone that I know currently has gingivitis on his mandibular central incisors. His gingiva have recessed and are rolled and there is marginal reddness present (only on these two teeth). I know that he needs to go to the dentist to have the plaque removed, but he is currently in the middle of getting new dental insurance and it's not an option for at least for a few weeks.
I've advised him to floss and pay special attention to brushing more often.
He has an orthodontic retainer on the back of these teeth, which has caused him to shy away from flossing these teeth as often as he should due to having to use a bridge threader. When I had him floss with a bridge threader, it was almost impossible to get it through his gingiva. When it did go through, his gingivia bled profusely.
What can I tell him to purchase, that is over the counter, to help treat this until he can make it to the dentist? Is this disease able to be cured completely at home if he's persistant with flossing & brushing
Everyone has helped me so much with their answers! I help him floss regularly, purchased Crest Pro Health toothpaste for him to use, and listerine twice a day. From what it sounds like, this should help or even treat his problem. I also took the advice and went to Rite Aid and bought a scaler and explorer and used them on him. Popped the calculus right off! :)
p.s. No I'm not a Dentist, I'm currently in Dental Hygiene school.. which would explain why I know a little about teeth. :) I've been wishing I could bring my instruments home to use on him but I obviously can't... so the generic sort of instruments at Rite Aid seemed to help better than nothing! Thanks again guys!

Does crest pro health toothpaste stain teeth like crest pro health mouth wash?
Crest pro health mouthwash stains teeth to a brown color, but does the toothbrush ruin your teeth also? I've been using crest pro health toothpaste for about a month and I haven't noticed anything different, just making sure because I would stop if it ruins your teeth.
